The popular mobile MOBA title MOBA Legends 5v5 has come under heavy criticism after fans noticed an incorrect map of India in the reveal trailer for the MOBA Legends Masters Series 2026. The video, which was released as part of the tournament announcement, showed a distorted map where Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Aksai Chin were missing from India’s borders.
Soon after the trailer started circulating on social media, many Indian players and esports fans pointed out the issue and accused the developers of using an inaccurate depiction of the country’s map. Following the backlash, the company deleted the reveal trailer, although screenshots and clips of the video had already been widely shared online.
